Diabetes mellitus--the fifth leading cause of death in the United States--increased alarmingly in 1999, prompting the government to call the disease an unfolding epidemic. By 2025,it is estimated there will be 22 million Americans with diabetes. As this book details, diabetes can often be prevented or controlled with positive lifestyle changes, including the use of ampalaya (aka bitter melon), a vegetable that is being used around the world as a tea, in capsules, or in its whole form to successfully lower blood sugar levels in diabetics. The vegetable itself is also tasty and beneficial. This book will teach you everything you need to know to put ampalaya to work for you.

A great resource for everyone concerned about diabetes,
By
This review is from: Ampalaya: Nature's Remedy for Type 1 And Type 2 Diabetes (Paperback)
Ampalaya: Nature's Remedy for Type 1 & Type 2 Diabetes is a well-written book about a promising botanical called ampalaya in the Philippines, bitter melon in the U.S. and Momordica charantia by scientists. Written in Frank's crisp, engaging style, Ampalaya begins by delivering a good overview of the diabetes epidemic in the U.S., while also offering a fascinating, and colorful, historical chronicle on diabetes since ancient times. In addition to a well-referenced chapter on the research behind ampalaya and another on mini-case-histories, the book is jam-packed with practical, take-home information on: diabetes complications; reducing risk factors; taking care of your eyes, feet and kidneys; diet and nutrition in diabetes; overweight and exercise; and more. Frank pulls out all the stops when it comes to useful tips and lists of actionable suggestions, as well. All in all, this is much more than a health book about ampalaya; it is an invaluable resource for all people who are concerned about diabetes and interested in learning about a powerful variety of ways to improve their health and fend off the risk factors and symptoms associated with this epidemic disease.
